Romney vs. Obama - The Weekend Polls

The blog is back folks, that should annoy liberals. The shock of the decision by the US Supreme Court over ObamaCare sent this blog in to shock! But then if you think about it folks the Chief Justice could have given a poison pill to ObamaCare TAX, in essence the Chief Justice was stating that it was up to the VOTERS to make the decision, thus if you want ObamaCare Tax to end you have to vote for the Republicans. Thus lets see the our usual polls folks.

Rasmussen Reports ( LV ): Reports in today's daily tracking poll that President Obama leading Governor Romney by 46% to 44%. A 2% lead.

Gallup ( RV ): Reports in today's daily tracking poll that President Obama is leading Governor Romney by 48% to 43%. A 5% lead.

Lets Get Real:

What the subjective merits of the decision by the US Supreme Court when it came to ObamaCare Tax it has to be said on the objective level that it has been a good week for the Oval. The run up to the decision was the expectation that the Court would throw out the Individual Mandate but keep the rest of the law, well as it turned out for the Oval it got the whole law with the exception of forcing the States to expand their welfare programme to deal with the poor. The States would have suffered losing federal money if they did not follow through with the plan, the Supremes threw that part of ObamaCare TAX out. It is and will be seen as a political victory for President Obama, thus the bounce in the polls, but folks its early, lets see the negative adverts that recall POTUS stating that ObamaCare was not a TAX and then his lawyers stating it was a tax, in other words someone lied, did Obama to the US voter or the his lawyers to the US Supreme Court.

ObamaCare - Judgement Day - Thursday

The Hill: Reports on the lead up to the US Supreme Court deciding the fate of ObamaCare.

Lets Get Real:

Thus folks it comes down to 9 individuals, the Supremes, the three main options are, 1, ObamaCare is upheld, 2, It is thrown OUT, 3, the Individual Mandate is stated to be illegal but the rest of ObamaCare can stand. This folks would please Republicans up to a point and most Americans, as to the rest of ObamaCare standing there is a problem, how are you going to fund it, the Republican House wont give POTUS a dime, never mind a new health care law, thus it will become a 2012 issue. The prediction of this blog, its not going to do one, there are to many variables in this case, but this blog would not be surprised to see the law allowed to stand, the Court might think it is the job of the Congress to repeal the Act, on the other hand it might throw the whole thing out, as I said folks, to many variables, this blog hates to be wrong. Lets see what Thursday bring folks.

Blair and the NHS

Telegraph: Reports that former Labour PM Tony Blair is defending the use by the last Labour Government of private finance initiative in the building of hospitals in the NHS, as the article notes the problem is that " The total value of the NHS buildings built by Labour under the scheme is £11.4bn.....But the bill,...will come to more than £70bn on current projections ".

Lets Get Real:

Thus New Labour took the economy over a cliff with its spending, it did not regulate the banks as it should have, the mess of Iraq and Afghanistan cost the lives of many hundreds of UK Soldiers and other personnel, NOW it seems private business will get 60 billion out of the PFI deal. As the articles notes many NHS hospitals are heading for the wall, the New Labour experiment was a bloody disaster, with the exception of Northern Ireland can any one think of a long term policy that has worked. Lets not forget that the UK could lose Scotland due to the mess of the devolution policy followed by New Labour, thus in many respects Tony Blair and Gordon Brown were the worse PM's in UK history.

Turkey Warning to Syria - Syrian Crisis

BBC News: Reports that the Turkish PM Tayyip Erdogan has warned Syria that any Syrian military that comes close to the Turkish border will be seen as a threat, thus Turkey will take action if there is such an incident.

Lets Get Real:

The NATO response has been weak folks, what if the Syrians had shot down a US or UK plane, do you think there would be no action. One can assume that the Oval was on the phone to Turkey over the last few days, making sure they do not take action. Sooner it can be argued that Turkey will get drawn in to the Syrian Civil War, then the War become a proxy war between one one side, Syria, Iran and Russia, on the other side, the rebels, supported by SA, the CIA with the approval of the Oval and and local supporters. Its perfect for Iran, they get to divert the attention of the world from its nuclear plans, the Middle East leaders know how to play games folks.

Carter vs. Obama

Guardian: Reports that the 39th President of the United States, Jimmy Carter has been critical of the drone strikes of the Obama Administration, the article notes the following by Carter, " Drone strikes and targeted assassinations abroad have seen the US violating human rights,, "

Lets Get Real:

This is the best attack President Obama has had in ages, when Jimmy Carter is critical of you then you must be doing the right thing, the Obama Camp should put the words of Carter in an advert, this will show that the Oval is a hawk when it comes to foreign policy, no wonder the successors to Carter cant stand him, the worse American President in US history is an example not to follow, the Oval should increase these drone strikes, it might get lucky and Carter will heckle Obama at the Democratic Convention, that would be worth a few hundred thousand votes. On this a good day for the Oval,.

Bad Day on the Markets - Eurozone Crisis

Telegraph Live - Euro: Reports that US and EU Stock Markets fell today, as Spain officially asked for a a bailout and the EU Summit on Greece this week will start without the the new Greek PM Antonis Samaras and the new Greek Finance Minister Vassilis Rapanos who fell ill and has resigned.

Lets Get Real:

This is train wreak is heading in one direction folks, that is a major crash, the EU can only work with one government and one tax system, anything else is just changing the deck chairs on the Titanic, the Germans want to control the Budgets of the EU if they are going to fund this mess, the rest of the EU has small thing called democracy, the voters in these countries are not going to give up democracy as to please Berlin. The US is to much in debt to help, thus do not expect much help from the Obama Oval. The new Italian PM said the the EU had a week to save the Euro, well that week as gone, not master plan yet folks. The EU leaders have to get over the fact that the Euro was a bad idea, or they face taking the EU down with the Euro. Nothing last forever folks, NOTHING.

Syrians SHOOT at Turkish Plane - 2nd Time

BBC News: Reports that Turkey has stated that the Assad Regime in Syria has shot at a 2nd Turkish plane as that plane was searching for the first plane downed by the Assad Regime.

Lets Get Real:

At what point does the WEST act, Turkey is a full member of NATO, as any attack one member is an attack on all members, is the Obama Administration going to sell out Turkey as President Kennedy did over the Cuban Missile Crisis in 1962. The Syrians are looking for a fight, the Assad Regime wants to change the Syrian Civil War in to a regional war, who is next, one can see Israel becoming a target, thus to prevent a major regional war the Oval has to take action, or the Republicans should really start to frame Obama as weak on foreign policy, a President who wont stand with the allies of the US. Lets recall that one one of the major negatives against Carter was that he was seen as weak on the world stage. It will be interesting to see if Governor Romney can define Obama as another Carter.
